Haha no problem and yeah same boat. But at least with the fad u won’t be vibrating in 2wd. But yeah high pinion axle housing kit will be way down the line. But the true fix

That’s crazy… cause I went with the falcons that are for the 3.5-4.5. Turns out they run the same front shock for the 2-3 inch set. Only the rears change. I still have the stock driveshaft so I could experiment. I know on the rear they had to rotate the axle a little so that the boot wouldn’t...

well aware of the track bar centering side to side. I’m talking front to back which would be the lower control arms. I’ll post my current alignment adjustment that got me at an operating angle in the 7’s. Totally agree with you that rotating the C’s is not a cost efficient method nor very...

Sorry those are the extended shock lengths. When doing research for a lift, Clayton (CS on the phone) stated I would need an after market CV (double cardan) drive shaft for extreme angles and also the slip for height of the lift. Metal cloak was the same for their 3.5 lift. They even make u...

Haha. Exactly. Each time I knocked down the caster and improved the operating angle, I thought it was gone. But it was just less and needed a smoother road. Then it would eat at me lol.

Hence why it’s more fun doing donuts in sand or a snow filled parking lot in 2nd lol

Where at? I’m a fireman/ paramedic that’s covered I80 in Illinois. Sometime yes but usually they are plowed pretty good since we are a southwest suburb

I’ve agreed to that. I plan on running a caster of 6 when it’s installed. Until then… I would rather sacrifice steering and save my driveshaft. The blah blah blah is important…

I was racking my brain on the 0° pinion angle. I’ve watched all those videos and even though I’m new to this (June of this year). I learn quickly and try not to put out crappy info. There are people on here that will be quick to judge and act as if you have done no research. They don’t ask...

Perfect thanks. I’ll update when it’s all done.

Makes sense. Hopefully the FAD route works out and I can share the cheap easy fix. Thanks for your wisdom man

That’s good to know if I go that route. Thanks man

Ballpark what should I expect💰? Cause the FAD actuator should cost 350-450. No downtime either. But cut job is a better fix… decisions.

You are spot on. Do you think I would be able to wire it to an AUX? I’m a real idiot when it comes to understanding wiring.

I had the driveshaft (2k miles on a new adams driveshaft) rebalanced and they did add weight. So it’s not out of balance. Does your gladiator have a FAD? Are u running 5.13 gears? Can you elaborate on the bad info? I’m new to this all and trying to figure it out. From everything I’ve...

3.5 falcons. Not a bad thought though. The FAD isn’t that expensive and I might have secured a used one. Then I can move my caster back up to 6. It really doesn’t bother me running the lower caster but the fact I still have a vibration at an operating angle of 7 is kinda a mystery.

The stock rezeppa driveshaft doesn’t have a slip and would not work with the lift and articulation.

slight vibration…. But I want things perfect. Not removing the lift as that would take my daily driver out for 2 days as well as I sold the stock rubicon arms/ parts. I get the FAD is a weak point but it already has the fad axles and everything else that comes along with it minus the...

That makes sense since RyanlSmith had a Fad delete installed. I should have the right coupler already. Thanks for clearing that up!

It sounds like I just need to get the motor and coupler (Ryanlsmith might be helping me out with those parts) Then wire it to an aux switch.
